Does anyone know if AADSAS calculates study abroad grades into the GPA calculation? They weren't for my undergrad institution and I sure hope they aren't for AADSAS 😱

I looked a little harder and found my answer for anyone who is curious:

" Q: Do I include courses completed at foreign institutions?

A: Yes. Enter the college name along with coursework information. This information will be printed on the application and sent to the designated dental schools. ADEA AADSAS will not verify foreign coursework or compute a GPA for foreign coursework. Copies of all foreign transcripts and evaluations will be forwarded to the designated dental schools."

yes any class you took post high school is included!

Depends. If you took classes abroad through an American institution and received an American transcript, it will be calculated, but if it was let's say a European university or something, it won't be calculated into the GPA

It was a European institution, the grades show up on my transcript, but are not calculated into my university GPA...

Then aadsas will not calculate it. They only factor American and Canadian university classes into your aadsas GPA

Even high school classes count if you got college credit for them somewhere!

I don't think this is correct... Read the quote above from aadsas


Anyone else have a definitive answer to this?

I had the same question/situation. I called aadsas and they said they do not include it.

They will include a copy of your foreign transcrpts on your file. You need to send all courses completed outside US or Canada to WES or other recognized inistitutions to be evaluated first. Hope this helps!
